The Real Cesar Chavez, by Jared Taylor

This book review on Miriam Pawel, The Crusades of Cesar Chavez includes the paragraph:


"Anyone who reads this book can only conclude that Cesar Chavez was a deceitful, foul-mouthed, philandering, sociopathic egomaniac who pretended to be a saint. And, yes, he had an unusual capacity to attract and inspire people, and worked very hard to start a farm workers union. Only a unique combination of circumstances could have made a hero out of this gifted but odious man: America’s compulsion to throw itself at the feet of non-white figureheads and the relentless liberalism of the 1960, ’70s, and ’80s."

It also includes the paragraph:

"Miss Pawel writes that at that time workers had to stoop to use an 18-inch hoe called el cortito. Foremen looked down the lines of workers, and if anyone stood up to rest his back he was immediately ordered back to work. There were no privies; women used their skirts to protect each other’s privacy."

Because of Cesar Chavez working conditions for migrant farm laborers have geatly improved. God uses flawed people to achieve His goals.
